12:11 pm
to visit in america by "travel & leisure" magazine readers. the crescent city ranked number one overall and number one in 13 other categories including offbeat people, i think michelle met a few of those; people proud of their city, wild weekends, street performers, and one of the best places for people watching too. big easy buries its dead differently than the rest of the country too. but graveyards aren't just a place for grieving. michelle griego takes us inside st. louis cemetery number one in the heart of new orleans. ♪ [ music ]♪ [ man singing ] new orleans is one of the few places in the united states that has above ground burial. there is a rumor voodoo queen buried in the cemetery marie laveau. people come here from across the world to see her tomb.

12:13 pm
little bit of that. prediction, machine.com looks at the computer models to predict the outcome of sporting events. they ran the matchup 50,000 times and the 49ers won nearly 67% of the time. they scored on average 7 points more than baltimore. the prediction machine has picked the winner in 7 of the last 9 super bowls. so some good karma right there. a bay area man has been supporting the 49ers since their first super bowl back in 1982 and yes, he is going to be at number 6 this sunday and as cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran tells us, this year, a super bowl bonus. his tickets are on the house. >> i have been going around for years now saying, you know, when people talk about super bowls, i say i have been to all five 49er super bowls and they say what?! >> reporter: kerry white is the definition of a 49ers faithful and the fan all other fans want to be. >> the saying thick and thin? with the 49ers, it was thin and then thick.

12:15 pm
dozens of fans crusaded for kerry. mr. york's ears perked up and terry got this email. >> i want to give someone a chance to go to the game to embody what it means to be a faithful fan. >> reporter: faithful? terry agrees. as for being the so-called 9ers' good luck charm, terry says that's quite the pressure. >> the pressure is really on, i know. i hope not too many people around me know who i am. >> reporter: but one he is willing to take on and keeping a positive attitude, and he is hoping with a possible sixth win that could be a 7th bowl for him to complete his lucky ex- >> go, 9ers! have you ever been to a super bowl? >> never have but i'd love to go. i'm sure he is packing now to get out. >> off to new orleans. price is right, too. >> free ride. >> absolutely. hey, tell you what, should be a good time there and great weather here the next couple of days as high pressure is sitting overhead and now the temperatures are starting to warm up. still a transitional day outside. you have a few high clouds overhead but as we head throughout the afternoon, i think we're looking at lots of
12:16 pm
sunshine at the coast and then tonight mostly clear, temperatures going to be just about the same overnight. we'll still see 30s and 40s and then a warming trend in effect. out over the bay we're looking good right now. the numbers just beginning to heat up. 54 degrees in san francisco, 52 in san jose. and 58 degrees now in santa rosa. huge dome of high pressure now off the coastline. this is all going to be sliding eastward and kicking that low out of the way. that means high pressure is going to nestle in over the next few days and we are going to be in the sweet spot toward the middle of this week. near seasonal temperatures for today maybe a couple of degrees above the average but toward the next few days moving well above the average in the afternoon hours, 60s in toward san jose. 59 mountain view. 54 breezy cool in pacifica. 50s and low 60s in toward the east bay. and as you make your way inside the bay today we'll find some sunshine and couple of high clouds and the temperatures in the 50s and the 60s. overnight lows, not going to be as chilly. no freezing temperatures overnight tonight. some 30s and some 40s outside under mostly clear skies.
12:17 pm
then as we look out over the next couple of days, we are expecting the temperatures to remain in -- well, looks like the mid-60s in through about the middle of the week. then towards saturday and sunday, some partly cloudy skies and some cooler weather as we head in towards saturday and sunday. that's a look at weather. back to you. in healthwatch, when it comes to breast cancer treatment, less may be more. a new study finds lumpectomies with radiation may actually be a better option than mastectomies if the cancer is caught early enough. a growing number of early stage patients are choosing to have one or both breasts removed but researchers found those women actually had a higher risk of death from conditions like heart disease and so factors like tumor size and family history should be considered in choosing a treatment. still ahead, from chicken wings to chips and dips, some super bowl snacks that will really cost you. calories, that is. we're going to take a look at just how much exercise you're going to need to do if you go feasting on your super sunday coming up.

of pro football to get rid of that. six buffalo wild wings dipped in ranch dressing packs almost 1,000 calories. you would have to do the wave 6500 times to get rid of that. three pepsis have 450 calories. you would have to spend 57 minutes dancing to beyonce during the halftime show to say good-bye to all those calories. or you could go the fruit and veggie way. nice and healthy. for this week's best buys, here's tony tantillo. that's right, it's time for this week's best buys, where we eat fresh, stay healthy and save money. these peaches from chile we talked about a month ago and now they are bigger in size and more sugar coming into them. 2.50 a pound not a bad deal. out of california some beautiful broccoli coming into the market right now. last year at this time, it was very expensive. but this year, because of the weather and the growing conditions, there's plenty out there to choose from and the quality is great and prices are
12:22 pm
coming down about $1.49 a bunch. that's also a pretty good value. and imported blueberries are coming in. and for a large kind of blueberries for this price in the wintertime, you really can't beat it. when you buy them, make sure they're dark all the way around, very, very important. you can find them for about 2.49 per pint. that's also a great value. you can eat fresh and stay healthy and save some money. i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. ciao.
